Easy rangoli designs - beginners

Though I have drawn all the designs myself personally I am thankful to my family for the inputs, information and help in drafting all the posts so far.  I have used the terms kolam  rangoli quite freely in all the posts. Probably there would have been differences based on classical (!) explanations in the past but today kolams can also be colourful like rangolis both in the free hand and dots type  I find that even the terms rangoli kolam and kolam rangoli are used at  present. The only area where I think kolam are different are in sikku kolam and arisi maavu kolam. Both are beautiful, challenging and can be intricate . Rangoli is muggulu in Telugu and so this post will be useful for those in search of small and simple muggulu for beginners.  This post   may have answers  kutty rangoli /kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.   Form a star with two inverted triangles.   ...

Rangoli pen how to use for Diwali

Some tips and tricks shared from experience

1.  The most important factor is white rangoli powder.
2. Traditional kola podi available in Chennai , Tamil Nadu is not suitable as it is
3. If we use it we have to sieve well and then use to make the texture smooth
4.  Rangoli powder available online and in Maharastra flows quite easily
5.  I purchased one pen in Jayanagar Shopping Complex , Bengaluru and one in Lakshmi Road, Pune
    Both are working quite well.  It is available online on Flipkart and Amazon also
6.  Fill the powder to the maximum extent in the pen.  When the quantity decreases the flow of the
      powder is affected
7.  After we have solved the flow of rangoli powder the next important factor is using the lid to close        the pen at the right time.
8.   If we learn 7 above perfectly we can avoid smudges and nonuniform flow of the powder.
9.   Same points apply for rangoli colours also
